46880 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 149 / Wednesday, August 4, 2010 / Proposed Rules 

‘‘bond rollover’’ that was allowed under 

the Alternative Bonding System (ABS). 

The concept of ‘‘bond rollover’’ is not 

pertinent to conventional bonding. 

Section 86.283(f) is being added to 

reduce the potential risk of insolvency 

of the Remining Financial Assurance 

Fund by requiring the replacement of a 

Remining Financial Guarantee in the 

event a pollutional discharge occurs at 

a mine site bonded with a Remining 

Financial Guarantee. 

Section 86.284, Forfeiture 

Sections 86.284(a) and (c) are 

amended to be consistent with the 

changes made in Sections 86.281(c) and 

(e). 

The full text of the program 

amendment is available for you to read 

at the locations listed above under 

ADDRESSES. 

III. Public Comment Procedures 

Under the provisions of 30 CFR 

732.17(h), we are seeking your 

comments on whether the submission 

satisfies the applicable program 

approval criteria of 30 CFR 732.15. If we 

approve the amendment, it will become 

part of the Pennsylvania program. 

Electronic or Written Comments 

If you submit written comments, they 

should be specific, confined to issues 

pertinent to the proposed regulations, 

and explain the reason for any 

recommended change(s). We appreciate 

any and all comments, but those most 

useful and likely to influence decisions 

on the final regulations will be those 

that either involve personal experience 

or include citations to and analyses of 

SMCRA, its legislative history, its 

implementing regulations, case law, 

other pertinent Tribal or Federal laws or 

regulations, technical literature, or other 

relevant publications. We cannot ensure 

that comments received after the close 

of the comment period (see DATES) or 

sent to an address other than those 

listed above (see ADDRESSES) will be 

included in the docket for this 

rulemaking and considered. 

Public Availability of Comments 

Before including your address, phone 

number, e-mail address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you may ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. We will not consider anonymous 

comments. 

Public Hearing 

If you wish to speak at the public 

hearing, contact the person listed under 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT by 4 

p.m., local time August 19, 2010. If you 

are disabled and need reasonable 

accommodations to attend a public 

hearing, contact the person listed under 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. We 

will arrange the location and time of the 

hearing with those persons requesting 

the hearing. If no one requests an 

opportunity to speak, we will not hold 

the hearing. 

To assist the transcriber and ensure an 

accurate record, we request, if possible, 

that each person who speaks at a public 

hearing provide us with a written copy 

of his or her comments. The public 

hearing will continue on the specified 

date until everyone scheduled to speak 

has been given an opportunity to be 

heard. If you are in the audience and 

have not been scheduled to speak and 

wish to do so, you will be allowed to 

speak after those who have been 

scheduled. We will end the hearing after 

everyone scheduled to speak and others 

present in the audience who wish to 

speak, have been heard. 

Public Meeting 

If there is only limited interest in 

participating in a public hearing, we 

may hold a public meeting rather than 

a public hearing. If you wish to meet 

with us to discuss the submission, 

please request a meeting by contacting 

the person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. All such meetings 

are open to the public and, if possible, 

we will post notices of meetings at the 

locations listed under ADDRESSES. We 

will make a written summary of each 

meeting a part of the administrative 

record. 

IV. Procedural Determinations 

Executive Order 12866—Regulatory 

Planning and Review 

This rule is exempted from review by 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) under Executive Order 12866. 

Other Laws and Executive Orders 

Affecting Rulemaking 

When a State submits a program 

amendment to OSM for review, our 

regulations at 30 CFR 732.17(h) require 

us to publish a notice in the Federal 

Register indicating receipt of the 

proposed amendment, its text or a 

summary of its terms, and an 

opportunity for public comment. We 

conclude our review of the proposed 

amendment after the close of the public 

comment period and determine whether 

the amendment should be approved, 

approved in part, or not approved. At 

that time, we will also make the 

determinations and certifications 

required by the various laws and 

executive orders governing the 

rulemaking process and include them in 

the final rule.

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

oxides of nitrogen (NOx) emissions from 

natural gas-fired, fan-type central 

furnaces and other miscellaneous NOx 

sources. We are proposing to approve 

the local rules to regulate these emission 

sources under the Clean Air Act as 

amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). 

DATES: Any comments on this proposal 

must arrive by September 3, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the following local 

rules: Rule 1111, Reduction of NOx 

Emissions from Natural Gas-Fired, FanType Central Furnaces, and Rule 1147, 

NOx Reductions from Miscellaneous 

Sources. In the Rules and Regulations 

section of this Federal Register, we are 

approving these local rules in a direct 

final action without prior proposal 

because we believe these SIP revisions 

are not controversial. If we receive 

adverse comments, however, we will 

publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule and address the 

comments in subsequent action based 

on this proposed rule. Please note that 

if we receive adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

these rules and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rules, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rules that are not the subject of 

an adverse comment. 

We do not plan to open a second 

comment period, so anyone interested 

in commenting should do so at this 

time. If we do not receive adverse 

comments, no further activity is 

planned. For further information, please 

see the direct final action.

Attainment Date for the CharlotteGastonia-Rock Hill, North CarolinaSouth Carolina 1997 8-Hour Ozone 

Moderate Nonattainment Area 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The State of North Carolina, 

through the North Carolina Department 

of Environment and Natural Resources 

(NC DENR), and the State of South 

Carolina, through the South Carolina 

Department of Environmental Control 

(SC DHEC), submitted letters with a 

request for EPA to grant a one-year 

extension of the attainment date for the 

1997 8-hour ozone national ambient air 

quality standards (NAAQS) for the 

Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill, North 

Carolina-South Carolina Area (hereafter 

referred to as the ‘‘bi-state Charlotte 

Area’’), on April 28, 2010, and May 6, 

2010, respectively. The bi-state 

Charlotte Area consists of Cabarrus, 

Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, 

Union and a portion of Iredell County 

(Davidson and Coddle Creek 

Townships), North Carolina; and a 

portion of York County, South Carolina. 

In today’s action, EPA is proposing to 

determine that the states of North 

Carolina and South Carolina have met 

the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) 

requirements to obtain a one-year 

extension to their attainment date for 

the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the 

bi-state Charlotte Area. As a result, EPA 

is proposing to approve a one-year 

extension of the 1997 8-hour ozone 

moderate attainment date for the bi-state 

Charlotte Area. Specifically, EPA is 

proposing to extend the bi-state 

Charlotte Area’s attainment date from 

June 15, 2010, to June 15, 2011.
